Gas fireplace installation, from room to handover
Gas fireplaces in new construction and additions
In new construction or an addition, the fireplace can be planned while the framing is open, which makes routing and blocking simpler. The appliance still dictates the framing, clearances and termination, so the model should be chosen before the frame goes up around it.
We work with your builder on the sequence. The rough framing, vent route and supply positions are set to the manual, then checked before insulation and wall covering. Late changes to the model can mean reframing, so we confirm the choice in writing before that stage.
Fronts and trim from the maker's list
Decorative fronts, surrounds and trim kits are offered for specific models, and manuals allow only the kits the manufacturer supplies. Some fronts also carry the air openings the unit needs, so their design is not only cosmetic.
We order the front or trim from the list for your model and fit it as shown. If you prefer a look the maker does not offer, we explain the limits before the finish is designed. A front that seals openings or does not match the listing is not fitted.
The installation discount after your inspection
Approve the installation no more than 72 hours after your free inspection, and the agreed price carries a 10% discount. The same applies to any other service we quote after that inspection, and the window counts from your own visit.
There is no pressure to decide on the spot. The estimate shows the reduced price, so you can compare it, ask questions and talk it over at home. Approving later is fine, and the plan stays the same. Only the price changes, and the estimate states both figures.
Inserts and log sets have their own services
A gas insert slides into an existing fireplace and vents through liners, and a gas log set sits in a working wood fireplace. Both are gas appliances, but their planning, venting and requirements differ from a built-in gas fireplace.
We handle inserts and log sets under their own installation services. If your plan involves an existing fireplace opening, tell us, and we start with the service that fits. This installation service is for new vented gas fireplaces framed into a wall, a chase or a new opening.

What people ask about new gas fireplaces
What happens on the day the new fireplace is lit?
We check the appliance connection for leaks, take pressure readings, light the unit and watch it through its sequence. Then we show you the controls, the barrier and the maintenance list in the manual.
Can a gas fireplace share a vent with another appliance?
The manuals we work from call for a separate vent and prohibit venting into a pipe that serves a solid-fuel appliance. We plan a dedicated vent for the new unit as its manual specifies.
Should the fireplace go in before or after the finish work?
The appliance, framing and vent come first, and the finish follows to the manual's requirements. Some models allow certain finish materials only in set zones. We agree the sequence with your builder so nothing has to be undone.
